"This is a really tasty snack we usually have in our country, with tea, on a rainy day. Besan is ground chick peas; it's also known as gram flour, and you can find it at Indian stores. Serve with ketchup or chili sauce for dipping."

Just like the Indian restaurant makes! So good! Found chickpea flour at the Nugget!
